Man arrested after 'giving Nazi salute and shouting abuse' outside kosher supermarket

The arrest came days after a driver pleaded guilty to rolling down his window, performing the salute and shouting ‘Heil Hitler’ outside a Jewish primary school in north London.

The incident outside Wolfson Hillel school in Southgate took place on April 20.

Stephen Panagi pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 100 hours of community service for a racially aggravated breach of the Public Order Act. He has also been ordered to attend a session on Holocaust education.

A Community Security Trust spokesman said after Panagi's sentencing: ”It is important that the police and the Crown Prosecution Service take these cases seriously and deal with the offenders.

“This case and subsequent sentence serves as a reminder for anyone who thinks they can engage in antisemitism, and get away with it, that the law does not tolerate this sort of despicable behaviour.

"This case shows it is always worth reporting antisemitic abuse to the Police and CST so that offenders can be brought to justice.”
